The following is a list of officers of the Wisconsin Fruit Growers' Association for 1858:

President - A. G. Hanford, Waukesha. Vice-Presidents - Col. H. Crocker, Milwaukee; D. I. Powers, Madison; D. Mathews, Burlington. Secretary - Charles Gifford, Milwaukee. Treasurer - C. C.

The second annual exhibition of the Wisconsin Fruit Growers' Association took place at Milwaukee, on the 18th, 19th, 20th September. The Milwaukee Horticultural Society united with the Association on this cc. casion.

The display of fruits and flowers might have graced an older Society in an older State.

A broad table ran all around the hall and was completely filled with fruit and boquets.

Above this extended a shelf for greenhouse plants, making a goodly show. Our florists are not much behind their Eastern and longer established brethren in the obtaining new and curious things from all parts of the world.

Of cut flowers there were several lots of " Remontant Roses," many varieties in each. Also several collections of tender roses; one of sixteen sorts. One lot twelve sorts " verbenas." The exhibition of " dahlias" was fine.

Of grapes, there were but a few Isabellas and Catawbas. The Jane frosts extinguished our last hopes in the way of a grape crop.

We boast not much of our peaches this year, though there were some fine specimens, especially of " Noblesse" and " Morris Red".

Plums were fine, though not so abundant as in more favorable years. I noted among the best " Smith's Orleans," "YellowEgg," "Golden Drop," "Columbia," "Frost Gage," and "Onondaga".

Pears were abundant, and looked deliciously tempting. There were 70 varieties in all, varying from the little beauty " Forme de delices," to a very large specimen of" Bartlett' and "Steven's Geneasee," very fine; "Flemish beauty," "Doyenne d'ete," "Beurre Goubalt" " Oswego Beurre," " Annanas d'ete," " Julienne," " Leon Le Clere," "Dutchess d'Angouleme," " Beurre d'Amalis," " Swan's Orange." One twig of " Begi de la motte," twelve inches long, contained as many pears. " Seckles" were fine and often unusually large.

Apples I considered as particularly noticeable ; the " Rambo," " R. I. Greening," "Seek-no-further," "Baldwin," "Belle-flower," "Summer Queen," "Esopus Spitzenberg," " Fameuse," " Northern Spy," " Fall Pippin," " Fall Wine," " Spice Sweet," " Beauty of Kent," " Belmont," " Dominic," " Minister," " Vandevere," " Bevan's favorite," large specimens of the excellent " Hawley," and that beautiful, delicious favorite, the " Autumn Strawberry." Of "Grabs," the "Golden Beauty." Many fine "Russets," and some beautiful " Wisconsin Seedlings".

" Utters," " Graniwinkle," " Yellow Redstreak," " Daniel," and "June Sweet," were new to most, but were considered very good. I have here merely given those which particularly pleased me, another might make the tour of the room and present a somewhat different list.

There were several tables devoted to vegetables, displaying fine specimens of almost everything the kitchen garden affords - from the " 72 lb. squashes" to " fancy potatos." The Exhibition closed with an animated sale of fruits and flowers.

Wisconsin possesses a fine soil and climate for all the " staple fruits," and they are frequently larger and higher colored than the same varieties at the East.

These Societies do much to correct the fruit nomenclature, which in new countries is liable to confusion. Elsie.

The American Institute Fair in the Crystal Palace at New York has been eminently successful. We congratulate the Society on having so good a house. When shall we get a roof over our Horticultural Society again ?

The United States Agricultural Society appointed its third Exhibition at Boston, for the 23d, 24th, and 25th of October.

The grounds selected for the show are located on Harrison Avenue, between Brookline and Chester streets, and contain about thirty acres.

The first object that attracts the attention of the passer by is a fine gateway, of imposing appearance, designed by Mr. John R. Hall, architect to the society. Two noble towers, each forty feet in height, support a splendid arch, that spans the entire width of the street. These towers contain the treasurer's office, with twelve windows upon the Avenue front, for the sale of tickets. Upon their summits were displayed the American ensign.

Entering the field, we are treated to the the novel and excellent feature of a vast area, graded to a perfect level. The field is now clothed in a most May-like mantle of green - the oats which were sowed on the land being well up. This will serve not only an ornamental purpose, but a very useful one, in keeping down tne dust that the myriads of feet and hoofs would otherwise create.

Nearly in the centre of the field appears a fine track for the trial of horses, describing in its elliptical circuit an exact half mile. Midway on " the home stretch," a pagodalike tower, of beautiful proportions, rises to a height of seventy feet; and above it the American flag, thirty feet in length by twenty feet in width. The first story of the tower is designed as a gathering ground for the officers of the society, marshals and invited guests ; the second story accommodates the judges ; and the third will answer as a good look-out for those privileged to enter it. '

On the west side of the track, seats for six thousand spectators were erected, in the most secure manner, capable of sustaining ten times the pressure, to which they will be subjected.

The Committee of Reception consists of Hon. J. V. C. Smith, Mayor of Boston ; his Honor Lieut. Gov. Brown ; George M. Atwator, Esq., of Springfield ; Charles L. Flint, Esq., (Secretary Massachusetts Board of Agriculture ;) with others. These gentlemen were to receive the guests of the society at the President's marquee, and show them all needed attention.

Still further north was placed another beautiful tent for a Ladies' Saloon, where ices and other refreshments wore obtained. Connected with this saloon is a Withdrawing Room, where, with the assistance of an officiating maid, bonnets and collars and curls may be becomingly adjusted, if disarranged amid the throng.

The Society's Committee Rooms were established in the handsome wooden building on the notheast corner. Here are arranged tables with stationary and other codveniences for every Committee.

More than three thousand feet of stalls were prepared, and with a canvass roof, with festooned curtains in front Additional accommodations, arranged for sheep and swine, at the south end; and for neat stock, at the opposite extremity. At these points, several ranges of tents, about one hundred feet long by twenty feet wide, were stretched, affording adequate protection from rain and cold to the animals, and presenting a picturesque appearance to the observer. These tents, buildings, seats and stalls have been erected or arranged under the constant personal supervision of the President and Secretary, Marshall P. Wilder and Wm. S. King ; who are faithfully devoting to the great work their entire time and energy.

Very numerous entries of stock, in the various departments, were early made ; and some of the finest specimens of neat kine, both home-bred and imported, were on exhibition.

The officers of several of the New England Railroads expressed their readiness to transport stock to and from the Exhibition free of charge ; and an announcement to that effect was made accordingly; but as the arrangement was not general, it was decided by the New England roads, and by roads in other States, to convey stock at one-half the usual charge. Railroads on such occasions would find it to their eventual interest to observe a more generous economy.

This was expected to be the greatest agricultural exhibition that America, and perhaps the world, ever saw.
